Nashville Sounds

Nashville, TN – The top-ranked Vanderbilt Commodores baseball team will return to First Tennessee Park in 2019. Recognized by multiple baseball media outlets as the preseason number one team in the country, the Commodores will square off against fellow Nashville programs in late March.

On Tuesday, March 19th at 6:30pm, the Commodores face the Belmont Bruins in a non-conference matchup. It’s the fourth consecutive year the two programs have played at First Tennessee Park.

Wood, 49, will manage at the Triple-A level for the fifth consecutive season. He was Triple-A Round Rock’s manager from 2015-18 and compiled a 280-283 (.497) record. He led the Express to the 2015 American Southern Division title and a berth in the 2015 Pacific Coast League Championship.

He struck out the side in the first inning and did not record another strikeout in his final five frames.

Memphis grabbed a 3-0 lead in the third with five hits off Nashville starter Raul Alcantara. Wilfredo Tovar started the scoring with a two-run single and Lane Thomas bounced into a fielder’s choice to knock in another run.
